Is this really worthy of reporting? This is a prime example of the tail wagging the dog and why the media continues to be blamed for 'wagging the dog.' What is the purpose of highlighting such immature and unintellectual rhetoric? Does the nation really need to focus on this with all of the real news out there? CNN is becoming more and more of a political tabloid. Why is any one still reporting on Palin? Has she done anything worth noting since her failed 2008 run for V.P.?

Oh, John Kerry. If only it were true . . . what a happy day that would be for Alaska (and America).

Sarah. Go.........

AWAY

non-news. headline designed to create news.

I agree with Kerry.This governor is not smart. She has made a fool of herself and has no one to blame but herself.

Sarah Palin for Senior Class President! New vending machines and pizza on Fridays!

Go away!!!!

LOL, that's actually pretty funny.

I will happily move back to Europe if people in this country are dumb enough to put her into a major leadership position. God help us if this ever happens.

Why is this woman still around?

what a comment.....I love it!!!

that chick is retarded, but quite a few uneducated people seem to like her

That was a good one.

So....she can dish it out but she can't take it? What a whiny piece of trash.

Hey Sarah – Why all the kids born out of wedlock?

Be careful Sarah. You know John Kerry–point anything at him and he will try to get another Purple Heart out of it!!

in an anyone but bush election kerry lost.....no matter what the punchline is john, you'll always be the joke!

She should quite her day read bad jokes off a teleprompter full time.

Sarah Palin's jokes are as ill-conceived as the rest of her agenda.

Here's a new caption for the picture above:
"Governor Palin adds her opinion about who should lead the Republican Governor's Association...Something about the biggest set of horns".

Well, we knew that Palin couldn't take a joke, now we know she can't give on either. Her Kerry joke is about as original and creative as any of her ideals are about governing.

If this is what the GOP thinks is there future, then I think they are looking in the wrong direction. Palin will send us back 50 years.

I sort of agree with "Edgar" except I would add something to his sentiment. "Go Sarah... go away."

I believe that early hominids were telling that joke in prehistoric times.

I am take a wild guess...this is perfectly okay for her to attack...Palin only appeals to the Rush Limbaugh crowd, you know that 23% that believes that Obama is not a citizen of the United States.

Wow, I wish people would just stop talking about her so she'd disappear. She's like freaking Beetlejuice– or Candyman.

She still is not qualified!

Herman Munster look-a-like. No disrepect Herman... Great come back Sarah...

Sarah if you are going to attempt a joke you need to make sure it is funny. Kerry might not be the best looking guy but at least he has a brain.

John Kerry – right again!!!!!!!!!!!

Enough already. Seriously. This woman is worse than a Lohan vs Brittany brawl. She is always saying something. Always. Just running her jaw to get attention. Please, please, please CNN, start reporting the news and not tabloid gossip.

Yuck

Lame joke, Palin.

That was a dumb thing for Kerry to say in the first place. She is justified in commenting back to him.

Actually both are pretty good jokes. Lighten up people.

Is there a bigger clueless idiot in this world than Sarah Palin? What a worthless human being.

she needs to go away and take her over-rehearsed and scripted jokes with her

John Kerry who is a Vietnam vet in case he let you forget is nothing but a child... He is sad and angry and acts like a 4 year old.

Aw shoot Sarah, you need to toughen up. You have put yourself and your family in the public eye and being a public figure makes you a good target. Many, many have been the butt of jokes for years and I don't think they cry foul with each new joke.

Besides not having the "smarts" to be VP or Pres. I don't think you have the attitude or temperment, you are too sensitive, so go back to Alaska and figure out how to spend our taxpayer dollars ($21 million) to build your little airport in the middle of nowhere!

The day Sarah Palin is elected President is the day I give up all hope for this country. Her views and sensitivity are so far off the map. But, on the other side, all of you gun nuts that have ever wanted to shoot wolves from a helicopter will be in luck!

Yeah...nice comeback. As much as I dislike John Kerry, I think Palin is an idiot. I hope, for the sake of America, that she will lose in 2012.

Talk about two of the most vapid people in Washington (and yes Palin is basically an insider at this point). Hey Sarah, don't you have a state to tend to or are the cameras just too tempting for you?

Well done. Respond to a lame and insulting joke with a much better and funnier one.

What an idiot...

Yeah, go Sarah. Keep up the idiotic comments. They'll come in handy in 2012.

That's a really old joke, I think Leno did it during the campaign. Still no original thought from Palin.

As much as I dislike Sarah Palin, she really burned John Kerry on this one, and I applaud her. It's nice to see her fight back with a little bit of wit, rather than just pretending to be offended and trying to claim the non-existant moral high ground.

please get the GOP nomination in 2012. I can't wait to watch SNL again. she inspires.....comedians.

This woman isn't worth the news coverage.

I do find it funny that she acts like such a victim all the time but still lashes out at others.

she can comment or joke about everyone else , but when someone put's upa picture holding a funny little kid , she takes issue with that and Letterman , I hope she does try and run for POTUS , because we will have a field day picking this racist , vile ugly woman apart ....

Are you sure she was referring to Kerry's face? The picture suggests another part of his anatomy.

Yea! Go Sarah go! Just go!!!!!!

Why do we have to listen to her crap? Is this this important.? She won't stay away from the media. I think she wants to be a Hollywood celebrity not a politician. This is like soap opera.......

Does she have lie every time she opens her mouth? Kerry didn't say shoot anyone. She's such a drama queen! She should change her name to Britney Palin and go on blinking, shaking her empty head and whinning about every little joke. Her whole life is a JOKE!

ARRGGHHH ***vomiting***-

That's actually really funny. I guess we know who Jay Leno is writing for these days...

Yeah, Go back to Alaska

go away sarah please.

I'll never vote for her, but I'll give her a point for that one.

You can swift boat John Kerry, but his ugly mug is off limits!

Sarah Sarah Oh you are so Clever
But President of the United States Never
Just go to he** I'll pull the lever

Palin 2012 Ha Ha NOt

So, now this ex-beauty queen is making fun of someone's else's looks?
That's real presidential, Sarah.
America sure dodged a bullet when she didn't get elected to a national office.

This woman isn't worth the news coverage. Stop giving her media attention!!

I do find it funny that she acts like such a victim all the time but still lashes out at others.

they're both worthless. did she seriously go all the way to kosovo to tell a joke! politics is nothing more than a boxing match. stop knocking each other around and just get this country put back together.

Go back to Alaska

God the culture war has made "politics" stupid.

Keep opening your mouth Sarah, how may feet can you get in it? By the way when she speaks for all us" Alaskans" up there; she only means herself and her coronies . Yes Sarah, there is a state of Alaska that extends past Wasilla.

Keep fighting Sarah!

Is there nothing this woman won't do to keep herself in the news?
She's really building herself up for a huge letdown. Not only couldn't she win a national election, she won't even get the nomination.

But keep trying, idiot.

{doesn't}

She is the Dems best chance of keeping the White House.
Sarah Palin 2012.

We the members of The Long Faced Peoples of America take issue with Sarah Palin's blatant and malicious attack on one of our most revered members! How dare you!! Making fun of John Kerry just becuase he is mandibly enhanced....how low and reprehensible!

Awww Sarah, nothing in depth to say, but to respond to other ppl's jokes and fighting with Levi? Why is it that all you're capable of is tabloid displays of victim hood?

She's a fool. Get out of the media already! Horrible....

"Bob Dole, why won't you shake my hand? And Max Cleland, stand up and take a bow! David Paterson, can you see me NOW?"

What is WRONG with this creepy broad?

Oh snap, she sure got him. Why the long face. Epic...

She's such a moron! Why does she think that people are just sick to death of hearing about her and seeing her on tv and the internet everyday? No one cares Sarah! You would say anything to keep yourself in the news....even dissecting an off-hand remark to make everything be about you! You are such a loser.

Don't give up hope Senator, there's still a chance that Putan could kidnap her from her back porch.

That would be the most clever thing I think she's said in her life

Why dosen't this idiot go away!!!!

Sarah certainly has a right to make a joke, ou would think that someone who has a child with Down Syndrome, she would not make jokes about someone's face.

And this is the woman who gets upset every time someone takes a cheap shot at her.

Gee – I wonder how long it took for her to pay some one to writes that joke for her, practice it and how much money it took to pay the crowd to chuckle along with her ...

Gov. Sarah Palin is great !

I agree 100% with Kerry, but Palin's retort was pretty funny.

Boy I see this idiot always can dish it out, but the dumb broad sure as hell can't take it!

I'm really getting tired of all the petty, childish remarks by the bloggers, the media and the "elected officials". Seems that ever since we've had the blogs people can and will say anything. What has happened to class, integrity, discretion and intelligence. I've noticed that if you must sign your name (i.e., letters to editor of newspapers) you refrain from all the pettiness.

Yikes. This woman is so vapid and devoid of any substance. Sure, Kerry's joke was stupid. But, if Palin takes everything so personally, how can she really lead a state much less a country. No wonder the voters rejected her in '08.

Sarah, honey, you've gotta put down the blackberry, stop following any little bit of gossip about you, and just stick to governing.

Also, too, have you commented yet on yer pal Gov Sanford's behavior yet? Or are you OK with him running away and keeping a lover in Argentina?

'Cause there are simply DOZENS of us that are waiting to hear what your view on this scandal is, you being the voice of the Republicans and all, ya know.

I don't like Sarah Palin, but that's pretty dang funny!

Way to not make fun of folks for physical features...

Hey people...Ignore her...She'll probably go away.

She is so dignified....

That's just what we need in the White House... a tit for tat name calling school girl.

I bet her staff was up until 2-2:30 thinking up that zinger...

It would be nice if she disappeared from the media for a week or so. She is to the MSM what Lindsay Lohan was to TMZ & EW a few years ago. I really don't care what she does, especially when it's irrelevant bickering like this.

Really CNN – why is this being listed as news? She name dropped Kerry – big deal! I cannot wait until she is voted out of office so I can stop hearing about this political hack.

Why are Sarah Palin so quick to throw critcism but cant take it when its thrown back at her.

Will John Kerry EVER learn how to tell a joke???

Everyone needs to just grow up!

Wow this female is such a joke!!!

Sad part is her writers came up with it. Also, a joke isn't that good if you have to spend that much time setting it up.

Yes – Go Sarah! AWAY!

I guess Sarah Palin is what Nixon had in mind when he said "we need atttractive women to represent the GOP!!!" We all know that beauty, if that's what you call it, doesn't equate to intelligence. Nor does it mean a certain level of morals comes with it!

Go away Sarah...
2009 – til the cows come home (or maybe the wolves in your case) !!!

Who paid for her trip over there? I bet she's really visiting her son at the taxpayers' expense.

Its about time this governor from Alaska crawled back into her cess pit and left the rest of America alone. Who needs her not US

keep dreaming Edgar!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 2012!!!

I'm not the biggest fan of Palin but I have to admit, that was a pretty funny comeback...

Go AWAY Sarah – - PLEASE!! And long before 2012.

Although I agree completely with Senator Kerry, I have to admit that was a good one.

Such a drama queen. She's not even close to qualified for her position, she's just propped up by the media and conservatives who find her different than most politicians– an attractive female in charge. She spends more time calling names than actually contributing dialogue to the important issues.

She should not be angry when some one else takes a shot at her since she is quite capable of sendind one back. and when is the governor going to go missing every move she makes every media is willing to cover her washing the laundry as if we cared.

SARAH - Newsflash!!

This is the Presidency, it's not a beauty pageant, darlin'...

For someone who famously said "Gee can someone tell me exactly just what is it that the VP does everyday" you just dont have a single SHRED of credibility to stand on......

Which, I suppose makes you a perfect Republican candidate....

Name calling . . . how mature . . can she see the dump from her house now?

Regarding Sarah Palin.... Way to go,John Kerry. I'm with you

Yeah-go away Sarah , far away!

shes gonna run in 2012 an then lose cuz the left realizes shes an idiot

She's got my vote! Gotta be better than what we have now.

I bet no one laughed. Kerry is right...why don't you just go away already!

Yes, Go Sarah, far away.

To Edgar...Go Sarah....2012

Sure. That would make a BO victory a slam dunk. Just need to replay the Katie Couric interviews.

Go Sarah…
--

... and take Rush with you.

How typical of the "Air Head" Palin...a comment with NO substance!

So she can dish it out, but she can't take it. Whatsa matter Sarah, your outrage about the parody photo of you and Trig not get you enough press?

that was her comeback? lame.

Go Edgar! Those of us who support Barack Obama wish you the best of luck in giving the Republican nomination to Sarah Palin in 2012. A guaranteed 8-year term for our president!

Wow, what a witty comeback from the Queen Bee. Maybe when you and your girls are finished with high school, you can get a real education and do something to help your state.

Good comeback Sarah! Now go away you twit...

Why on earth is this news??? Enough already. Letterman should have NEVER apologized...

Well it is true why couldn't she go missing no one miss Sarah Palin but herself. I AM SO SICK OF HER.

I second Kerry's statement.

I saw her speak to the troops...she takes rambling on to a new level.

Childish...anything to stay in the headlines

whatever gets you in the news , you bethcha!

Aww Sara, you think you still matter. That's so sweet. Maybe if you try real hard, you can pass that dumb old test and move out of the governor's mansion and go back to being a 5th grade teacher, or whatever you did with that 7 year long bachelor's degree you got.

I am surprised Ms. Palin would comment about someone's face, given her reaction to the spoof photo of her and baby talk radio host.

She is the prime example of "can't take a joke"

I hope she runs in 2012, just like all dems do...

I wonder, if we ignore Sarah Palin long enough, will she go away? How about we give that a try? I know it's tough – she makes it so easy and gives the media plenty of good fodder to work with but I think her 15 minutes of fame is up – enought with the little miss "golly, gosh, darn to heck" garbage. Does she really think she belongs in the big leagues? Maybe the farm team.

Good job Governor! Kerry is the one who needs to get lost.

jeez. What is this? High School. So stupid from both sides. Get to work. Both of you. And I mean really work.

I get it.. Long face.... Stop it, my ribs hurt.......

Now that's funny, don't care who said it.

If she doesn't develop a thicker skin, she will never be presidential material. Not that I think she ever would be anyway.

Unfortunately she thinks this is cute. The thing is no one takes her seriously because unlike Newt, Mark Sanford (before the scandal), Bobby Jindal, Mark Pence or other potential GOP 2012 candidates, the news that follows her is not about policy or anything like that but just gossip. She doesn't discuss her thoughts and policy solutions on Iran, North Korea, Health Care, Unemployment, the economythings the American people are thinking about. Honestly because she has not formed a thoughtful, rationale opinion about ANY of these. It's not that Democrats are afraid of her, trust me WE ARE NOT!! What is frightning is that she doesn't seem to have anything under the surface or a genuine yearning to learn or to have an intillgent, well thought opinion of current issues. That is her biggest problem and why she is looked at from a gossip perspective vs. true policy substance.

Any excuse for Sweet Sarah to get out of Alaska! Kosovo of all places And why exactly?..To visit the troops??? Me thinks she is trying to build up her resume with the folks of her home state footing the bill.

CNN, why is this news?!!! Stop giving this woman more press!!!!

Republicans better hope this woman isn't the future of their party, because anyone with half a brain knows she's a nut job. Nothing wrong with her retaliating to Kerry's comments, but she could have at least come up with something original.

Nice!

really?!

Palin, Limbaugh and the rest of the antiAmerica GOP crowd continue to drive people away from the Republican Party – the more they say, the better it is for the Democratic Party as they continue to be more and more irrelevant.
Palin-Limbaugh 2012! LOL!

Yeah, Go Sarah....Just Go!

Nice Sarah. You got a liberal LOL out of me

They're both idiots. Who elected these children?

... Well, at least we know now why she never aspired to be a comedian. *facepalm*

Yes, please, do go, Sarah

Hard to tell which end of the horse is talking here, for both of them!

YOU BETCHA! Guardian of the Northern Frontier!

bwahahaha good one Sarah.... Why the Moose Face?

You can't put lipstick on a pig while it's rolling around in the mud.

ohhhhhhh pleasssssssse give me break!!!!!!!!!!
CNN why do you give this woman an outlet!!!!!!!!!
...whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!

Way to go sarah!!..as someone from the peoples republic of taxachusetts I know first hand what a dead beat john kerry is..if it wasn't for his wifes' money he would be nothing...see you in 2012 sarah!!!

I personally can't stand her but she made a joke – ha ha -get over yourself Sarah and disappear

What a hypocrite! Its all fun and games when she makes jokes, but the second someone makes a joke against her, its completely unappropriate.. don't ya know?

I'm with Kerry on this one. Go away Sarah.

Palin should absolutely attack those who try to attack her. John Kerry is not in her league. John Kerry got where he is today because of the money he keeps attaching himself to...Oh oh... I forgot. The CNN blog is only for Democrats. Sorry, let me repeat the mantra

"Obama is Great. Obama is Great." There I feel better already.

Well delivered

Go Away Sarah...

2012!!!!

John Kerry is just saying what most of us are thinking. Get over yourself Sarah!!!

yeah go Sarah, back under a rock, stupid is as stupid does

Life's like high school, with money.

good for her!

Haha, that is actually a good one. I guess Palin got new joke writers for her comedy since the Convention.

I know you are but what am I?

Grow up.

more like "Go" AWAY "Sarah" – NOW!

How mature of her.

yes GO...as in GO AWAY......nobody cares about this perosn or anything she has to say. CNN...stop posting this about this person....let her fade into oblivian where she belongs. The 15 minutes is up...let it end!!!

Sarah Palin is a fighter.. picks fight all the time.

well here we go again; what she wont do to keep her name and face in print! Why is she sweating the little stuff? I so hope the country and your party see you for what your aren't.

Kerry's comments were in such bad taste on so many different levels. At some point, we need to start expecting more from our politicians and our media. Bashing people, making fun of them and laughing at their expense simply because we don't agree with their policitical views is juvenile. Shame on John Kerry.

Go AWAY Sarah...

2dumb2lead!!!!!

My gawd, she is NOT CLEVER. She needs to disappear

Haha, Sarah made a funny. Very, very, old joke, Sarah. Try stealing some newer material. If you spent half as much time studying our history and current global events, as you do looking for TV opportunities, more people might respect you as a genuine candidate at some point. You seem to think you can suceed just by being on TV. This is not Sarah and Todd plus 300,000,000. You actually have to WORK on a daily basis to keep up with important events. You seem to have as much intellectual curiousity as Bush. And look where that got us. G*d knows we won't repeat that mistake again. Oh well, too bad, so sad for you, Sarah.

She is so petty. She does not know how to handle comments. If she can't handle this, she can not handle anything else.

Oh good grief...

Yes, it was a very lame joke. And we probably would have forgotten it if Governor Palin didn't bring it up.

Is this what we have to look forward to for the next 3 years? It seems like every other day the governor is taking offense to something someone said or did. And while some things have crossed the line, others are the same kinds of needling that ALL politicians have to deal with.

If the public spotlight's getting to hot Governor, then exit stage right.

How has Palin made it so long in politics. It seems she is constantly crying about what someone says about her. Now she is going after physical attributes of those who dare say something negative about her. I wonder how often the Police are at her home settling a name calling incident with her neighbors in the trailer court.

She should quit her day job

Palin has a sense of humor? That's a laugh - a scoff!!!!

Bulls eye Governor Palin.... Yeheyyy!

I wonder how many times she practiced that line before she delivered it to the troops? I'm also curious as to who wrote that joke for her. That level of wit is a least 4 levels above Sarah Palin standard.

But you got to admit, it was funny huh?

Just like children in the playground.

I don't think the army needs to hear politicians taking shots at one another. US soldiers need our support and respect and not Gov Palin making fun at someones face I mean its not like her face is any better than Kerry's.

She can dish it out but she sure can't take it!!

... and which of Sarah's kids are with her on this Kosovo trip?

Isn't the big story here that John Kerry made a joke? And a fairly funny one too.

You go girl!!! All the naysayers and liberal bloggers that can't stand you are soooooooo jealous of you, they hurt! Ugly Kerry!! I can't stand the idiot, as is the case with most liberal democRATS, especially ones like him that live off their wives and then there are the Kennedys that live off their name.

What a classless, two bit excuse for a woman.

This is why Kerry didn't get elected because he is a total idiot.

Lame.

Grow Up Sarah!!!!!

Why does this matter?

That joke must have taken up all 6 of her brain cells working as hard they possibly could. And yes, like Edgar said, "Go Sarah- 2012!" What a blessing not just for Democrats, but Americans in general. Imagine her trying to debate with Obama.."Aw shucks, aw geez... well, I finally made a trip overseas. Tax cuts..."

Finally a sense of humour and not crying and whining. Maybe she can learn if she studies hard enough.

Oooh burrnnn.

Kerry isn't the brightest bulb in the box but Palin has made her share of illicit slams to people too.

This story looks more like two kids who can't get along in the sandbox.

This woman is really power hungry. Won't stop at anything to seek notice.

why can't she just go away? i think the majority spoke in november!!!

"But the way he said it, he looked quite frustrated, and he looked so sad, and I just wanted to reach out to the TV and say, 'John Kerry, why the long face?'"
------------------–

Peacekeeping mission? Dragging our troops into her political arena is anything but. How insulting of her.

John Kerry needs to apologize.

Go away Sarah 2009!

Does this mean she is actually developing a sense of humor?

Yeah. But make a comment about her looks or her face and watch all hell break loose.

wow

I think he is right palin needs to shut up and go away

Didn't she say Obama paled around with terrorists. Doesn't Obama have children that can read and hear someone is calling their father a terrorist and implying all types of evils? Has she ever apologized for those remarks or does she believe them? The doctor killer and her have some common ground does that mean she pals around with terrorists. Stop blaming the liberal press and the godless democrats for your inabilities. Stop dragging your kids into every situation. What is your position on Healthcare, Korea, Iran, Immigration? We already know you hate gays, Illegals, gun control, and correct grammar.

If only she could take it as well as she dishes it out.

Im am not a John Kerry Fan, but Palin's folksy talk and the constant undeserved attention she attracks from the media is getting so old. I consider myslef a republican, but I could not vote for John McCain because he chose Palin as his running mate. I understand the desire to get the radical conservative vote, but her lack of knowledge and just general idiocracy is apalling. I hope she does not try and run for President in 2012, cause I would probably be forced to vote democrat yet again.

Give them hell Gov. Palin....................someday they might just wake up and learn not to mess with a woman wearing a good looking pair of heels.

I'm beginning to like this Gov. Palin more and more everyday. This woman can dish it out and she sure can take it. You go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kerry's coment was stupid and inappropriate. But I still think Palin could have waited to give her rebuttal rather than involve the troops in partisan political stupidity.

Well Senator Kerry, when you choose to play with trash you are going to get a little dirty!

Who else is sick of politicians acting like children. Wait. That is an insult to children. Grow up for the sake of this country

That's my girl!!

Keep your head up high Sarah.

Meet Sarah Palin, professional victim!

It is not for here to ignore, to rise above it, to focus on important...., oh, wait, perhaps being perpetually offended is most important thing for Gov. Palin?!

It is amazing how the democrats are so afraid of Sarah, that they have to attack, attack, attack. It only makes them look small minded.

Kerry is just speaking for the millions of us that feel the same way.

Thanks Mr. Kerry!

As a resident of MA I sometimes wonder which citizens keep electing John Kerry and why.

That was a stupid remark for him to make about any human being. What if something had seriously gone wrong and say the governor had been abducted and/or killed? To wish that on another person shows him for what he is. He has children doesn't he realize that her children hear the remarks on the 24 news stations as well. How do you think they feel hearing a United State Senator say too bad it couldn't be the governor of Alaska who is missing.

I will keep Kennedy for as long as I can but I hope the democratic party will come up with some competition for Kerry next time he runs.

she is well versed in the rethug talking points, sounds like a lame el rushbo joke, she will never be president or vp, keep this up and she wont even get a reality show on CMT

Gov Sarah Palin please....please exit left and leave the stage. Partisanship and religious divide will never equate to being a Presidential contender.

Ha. Ha. ho. ho. You see? Sarah Palin can be really, really funny and so, so witty. That's one of those jokes that really sophisticated need to sit down for some serious discussion to to even touch its core for meaning, but at the same time have a knee slapping good time. Gosh dang, she is funny.

Palin is a Win,Win,Win,Win. The Republicans love her.The media gets great ratings from her.The Democrats can't lose to her.And the people get great entertainment from her.All four should pitch in and keep her around.Wink Wink

If someone had made a joke about her face, she would call it sexist.

even her jokes are scripted. nice.

"Palin is overseas visiting Alaska National Guard troops on a peacekeeping mission."

Wrong again, CNN. Palin is running to president in 2012.

By the way, I notice that when the supposedly "liberal" media runs the pictures of all the recent presidents and presidential contenders who are adulterers, you folks mysteriously leave out the pictures of presidential contenders Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giulani.

I can see leaving Giulani out, he never had a chance. But where is Gingrich's face when the media paraded out all the "promise breakers?"

Oh please, CHILDREN, each go for a time out in opposite ocrners...I'm getting so sick and tired of this.....

I TRUELY think there is more IMPORTANT NEWS than this...

I'm no John Kerry fan and the idea of Sarah Palin becoming President scares the crap out of me. But I have to admit those were both pretty funny jokes.

Kerry probably should have not made that statement, but this woman does not stand a chance of being POTUS. She may have the support of the base, but the average American in their right mind would NEVER vote for Sarah Palin, not in Nov. 2008 or EVER!

This was not a smart thing for Kerry to say...

Why are all these politicians acting like children instead of doing the jobs they were elected to do. What frustrates me is that "we the people" allow this to continue since there is no way to reduce their term limits or even give them term limits for positions that have none. These people get elected year after year and become inceasingly out of touch with their demographic and then "we the people" get distacted and buy into the whole two party "i'm for one side your for the other" crap that they stratigically do to fire us up, and then we forget that this is not about a side it's about whats right for us as a country. That is why these people were originally elected when we were a new nation, not to break records for who's been in a seat longer or "we've never had a minority in this postion "to represent us" before so i hguess it's time . WE AS AMERICANS HAVE THIS ALL WRONG AND IT'S TO LATE TO FIX THIS!!!

I don't get it..politicians shouldn't try to be funny.

Haha, you go Sarah! Kerry is a loser on so many levels.

Haha...actually kinda funny...

as long as they keep it light, shouldn't be any reason they can't rib each other like this

I hate Sarah Palin, but I admit that it was a good comeback line on an easy target ...lol!

I dont think it was a joke. More like wishful thinking.

okay I agree John Kerry has a long face and if Palin would stop whining every time someone made a joke about her she would not get so many critics when she makes jokes but I don't agree this is funny. That's got to be the worst wind up for a bad joke ever. Palin should drop the comedy routine and stick to inciting the 20% of Republicans that are left.

Good, our troops could use some USO entertainment. Has Palin been working on some skits with Tina Fey? Now THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT.

Way to go John, you hit the nail right on the head.

Whatever you think about Sarah, the "long face" line is FUNNY!

The long face is that you're still around, still in the national spotlight.

Here's to you being out of it....

CHEERS!

I love it. Kerry is the most annoying looking man in politics...

Fifth, maybe Sixth Grade humor. If a pol,, Dem. or Rep., wants to crack a joke, then let's hold them to entertainment standards. Corny jokes or infantile humor is so-childish.

Alaska is paying for her to visit her son. People why are you all so stupid. She is only going there so she can spend time with her son on the tax payers expense. John Kerry you are right, and every chance Palin get to take advantage of the system she will take it.

Quick! Someone let Sarah know she dropped her flute!

Go Sarah...

2012!!!!

lol, that was Presidential. NOT! Somebody tell the woman to get different handlers. A visit to our troops is the LAST place one should give a divisive, partisan speech.
